HQ 100-302583, #1 (4/29/44 NYC report), page 2: reported that in July 1942 Josephson was on tour of Yellowstone National Park and informant stated that Emmanuel Josephson claimed that FDR and his entire administration were “not interested in winning the war but merely in changing the structure of the Government to a dictatorship; that if we win the war, we would be no better off and might be worse off than if Hitler was to win…” 

FBI-San Francisco field office reported another instance in 1942 where Emmanuel Josephson “condemned the President and his wife as sexual perverts (and) claimed there would be no second front as the Pope controlled the international situation through a head office at Montreal and that the Governor of Alaska is a Communist and had blocked all attempts of engineers to construct proper defenses.”  This report also refers to NYPD Detective describing Emmanuel Josephson as “psychopathic”. 

Pg 4 of FBI report indicates that “during his career with the City Health Department, Josephson was three times brought up on charges of improper conduct and twice his dismissal was recommended by the personnel board although it was not acted upon.”  

Emmanuel Josephson brought a libel suit against the NYC Health Commissioner, Deputy Health Commissioner, and President of the County Medical Society.  During the trial, they described Emmanuel Josephson as “a chronic troublemaker, arrogant, quarrelsome, abusive, loud-mouthed, vulgar, at times indecent, provoked fights and quarrels with physicians…spied on fellow workers and delighted in annoying them in small mean ways…”

Pg 6:  In May 1917 while a senior at Columbia University, Emmanuel Josephson was suspended “and a psychopathic examination was ordered.  He was twice examined and his sanity was not challenged but the examiner advised the College Board that Josephson was possessed of poor judgment, lacked tact and modesty, was impressed with his own importance and apparently had improper home training.”

Unrecorded serial (5/3/57 airtel from NYC SAC to J. Edgar Hoover) reports that informant had conversation with Josephson during which he stated, “that Senator McCarthy was being slowly poisoned by radiated water and that the Senator’s wife Jean was involved the plot.”

HQ 100-302583, #18 (12/21/67 memo from M.A. Jones to Bishop): “Josephson is well known to us as a troublesome, unstable individual who has frequently published distorted, unfounded and controversial material.  He was the subject of a security-type investigation in 1944…Briefly, the investigation disclosed that he was a practicing physician who was described by acquaintances and associates as a chronic troublemaker, arrogant, quarrelsome, abusive and vulgar.  He was also considered ‘psychopathic’ and an unbalanced megalomaniac who had done much to discredit his profession.”
